Cover tray with wax paper. Using #10 scoop, form 18 ice cream balls; place on prepared tray. Cover; freeze several hours or until very firm.
Blend together vanilla wafer crumbs, HEATH Toffee Bits and sweetened coconut flakes in large bowl. Set aside. Using wire whisk, mix eggs in small bowl. Coat ice cream balls with crumb mixture, pressing crumbs firmly into ice cream. Dip balls in beaten eggs; coat again with crumb mixture. Place on prepared tray; freeze 2 hours or until very firm.
Prepare LATINO CHOCOLATE SAUCE: Stir together heavy cream, brown sugar and cinnamon in large heavy-bottomed saucepan.

Add almond extract and HERSHEY'S SPECIAL DARK Chocolate Chips, stir until smooth. Serve warm.
Just before serving, heat 2-inches oil in fry pan or deep fryer to 375°F. Remove 2 balls at a time from freezer; fry in hot oil 20 to 25 seconds or until browned. Drain; serve immediately with warm chocolate sauce.
